Emily's P.O.V
I pack my bag before brushing my teeth. I pack clothes and essentials. I kick the bag under my bed hopefully Charlie and Kayla won't find it. They will kill me if they found out I am sneaking out. I can't believe I'm gonna sneak out. I feel like a total badass. But what if I get caught. I will be grounded for the rest of my life left this place or they won't let me leave this place. Well, they will have to or I will just sneak out like this again. What if they call the police? And they tell Harry I live in an orphanage? There you go again Emily, overthinking and thinking about the consequences. I need to calm down. I walk towards my wardrobe and open the wooden doors. I grab my Pyjamas revealing the picture of me and my mum. I lean into the wardrobe to kiss the photo
"What are you doing?" A quiet voice travels towards me. I jump in surprise. I turned around to see Anne inbetween my door and the door frame.
"Nothing, just looking in my wardrobe." I smile awkwardly. She raises an eyebrow and walks over to me. I quickly close the wardrobe doors and look down at the small figure.
"It's way past your bedtime, Anne. Go to bed." I smile. She shakes her head slowly and I could see she was on the verge of tears.
"I can't, Emily. I'm scared" Her voice was cold and quiet. I bend down to face her but she didn't look back at me.
"Do you want to sleep in my bed with me?" I ask. I look over the the small bed that could barely fit me on it and then back at Anne. she nods slowly and walks with me to the wooden bed.
"Can you check under the bed first?" She asks. I looked down at her to see if she was serious or not. Her face was painted with concern. I look awkwardly under the bed and smile up at her.
"No monsters.." I trail off. I feel pathetic checking under my bed for monsters. I see she is already asleep. there was no more room left on the bed that I will fit on. I guess I will have to sleep on the living room couch. I make my way down the corridor making sure not to wake anyone up. Downstairs was quiet and peaceful. The living room was dark, I can't see where I'm going. I stepped on a piece of Lego making me hiss in pain.
"Shit." I mumble. I turn the light on to see the damage these stupid kids have caused. It is only a scratch. I turn the light off before I laid on the cold leather seats and fell asleep instantly.

I woke up to a familiar racket I hear every morning. I forced myself to sit up as my back clicked. Ow, I roll my neck around earning more harsh clicks from my neck. I get off the sofa And walk down the narrow hallway to the kitchen. Kayla wasn't there and Charlie is probably out getting groceries like he does every Saturday morning. Only 2 more days till Harry leaves to go to focus on The X-Factor. 2 days I need to make the most out of even if it means sneaking out and getting grounded. I sit down on the round table in the middle of the kitchen. I wasn't really hungry at the moment. I peek over at the clock to notice its 2pm. I must've over slept. I run my hands through my hair, attempting to untangle the nots as I hear the door open and close rapidly and loud voices shouting over the racket.
"We'll, you should've just let her get the toy instead of starting a scene." Kayla's voice booms into the kitchen. She was holding shopping bags with cheap brands in them.
"No, you know we can't spoil her. And besides we don't have the money." Charlie followed shortly behind her. He looked equally as pissed off as Kayla. They didn't notice me as they kept arguing. They don't argue often but when they do it gets really intense. Their voices got louder and I was getting a headache. I left the fight scene and went to my room. Hopefully she isn't still in there. I open the door quietly just incase she is still sleeping. I look through the small gap that I have opened through the door. I scan the room carefully. I can't see her, she must've left my room. I enter the small room. My bedroom is a mess but fuck it. I sat on my bed. I'm bored and tired. I pick up my phone from the bedside table to see if I got any messages from anyone. I have 2 messages from Aria and one from an unknown number. I wonder who it is and how did they got my number? What do they want?I clicked on that text first out of curiosity and was shocked with what it read.
